Epidural pump issues

We had a recent report of an L&D patient with uncontrolled pain not receiving their epidural infusion (we use CADD-Solis, model 2110) despite appropriate infusion pump programming/setup. The pump was programmed and running but no medication infused for several hours.

Has anyone had similar issues with CADD?
Anyone using Eitan Medical Sapphire pumps for epidurals?

Thanks,
